I am officially gone, but I will be making major updates here for those who are interested.The End of an Era, New Beginnings · 5:24pm Jul 11th, 2024
This has been a long time overdue but a recent fan sent me an in-depth appreciation message that has gotten my butt in gear. This is likely the last blog post I'll ever make on here so if ever you're to read one, please make it this one.
In brief, I've moved on from MLP writing. I will always be a fan of the show and what those ten years of fandom did for me, my writing, and my social life, but the creativity well in my brain has moved on to other things, and as someone with ADHD, I cannot make myself create for things I'm no longer passionate about.
My last blog mentioned my escapades on AO3, where I've written for a few other fandoms. Since then, I've taken things a step further and begun outlining and spot scene writing for my own original book. It's called Familiar, and, to no one's surprise, will be following two brothers on a traumatic but emotional rollercoaster ride as one tries to reconnect with the other after a terrible accident.

You can follow me on twitter or join my fandom Discord server for updates on that. My Discord has evolved to become a small fandom group generally about all sorts of things, so please pop in and hang out sometime if you'd like!

And speaking of books, because I've moved on and the demand for The King of Love Bugs has dropped off, it is now permanently on sale at just $34, almost half of the original price. If you'd like to get a copy, DM me for the link.
Thank you so much to all my readers over this past decade. The sheer progress I made in writing just through this fandom is remarkable, and all the friends I made through it even moreso.
If you'd like to follow my writing from here on out, I'll be on AO3 and reachable through my website and social media as well.
Love, a blue bug
Happy trails, traveler. May your path be a fulfilling one.
Well, see you later and happy creating!
Feel free to drop in and read or say hi as you’ll always have friends around these parts~
May the creativity, the friendship and the ponies be with you, pal!

Edit:
Also suggest you to try out for this website, it's good for posting more stories in all forms.
Good luck, just hope ya fics here stay up
Happy trails.
I understand.
Sorry to hear, but perfectly understandable, bud. Have a good time with your future creative endeavours!
Sorry to see you go, but glad to hear you're still writing and enjoying yourself. n_n
sad to see you go, so long and thanks for all the cuddlebugs and may you find infinite joy in whatever realms of the imagination you find yourself in and may those who experience your stories in those realms take as much joy in them as we here in ponyland have taken from what you gave us (which was alot)
best wishes!
Aw man, and you were just starting to become one of my favorite MLP writers.
That being said, I'm glad you've found new topics you're passionate about, and I wish you luck with your future endeavors. Just know that you've left a great impact on this fandom and inspired tons of people, myself included. We will always appreciate the stories you've written over the past decade. 
For those of you wondering by the way, I'm the aforementioned fan who sent NavelColt that in-depth appreciation message. Here's what it said:
"Hello there. I recently finished reading The King of Love Bugs and the side stories in the Love Bug Continuity. Simply put, I loved all of them. Thorax is one of my favorite MLP characters, so getting to read a whole series of stories about him, Pharynx, and the reformed changelings' culture was a real treat for me. I was already sold on the premise when I first discovered the series, but you really went above and beyond by packing the stories with lots of cute moments, hilarious jokes, fun new characters, and unique world-building, all of which fit in perfectly with the canon of Friendship is Magic. I'm really hoping you continue to write more stories for the Love Bug Continuity, because they've definitely become some of my favorite works on FIMFiction."
That last sentence is now irrelevant, but I'm still looking forward to whatever stories you write in the future, MLP or not.

No worries, nothing's getting removed and I don't plan on ghosting the site, just not posting any new content.

I'll bookmark this, thanks
Fanfiction and original content? Interesting.
Thank you everyone for understanding.
5792014 cool
By any chance, do you know if a daughter and her dragon will be finished? I know that was Level Dashers project but I was just curious? If there's no ending coming then that is fully understandable. I just haven't had much of an update in a while for it. As for you leaving, I hope you find something that makes you happy and I hope your new story comes out very well. I might go for a book if it is ever published.

There initially was talk about someone among his group of friends finishing it but roadblocks were hit and now I'm not sure what the status is or if anything is getting worked on tbh.
Glad to hear, if the book is published I'll definitely make that a blog post.
You'll be missed in the fandom, but can't wait to see what you come up with for your novel! Best wishes to you, and all the Bugs!
Godspeed, sir. Thank you for all of your fantastic contributions to our community, and best of luck on your future endeavors.
